Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security98
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 31 of 96 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 7 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 862 tokens (~95/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage93
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass

Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "secret_transfer" implies "transfer" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.iamalanlui/apipay MCP server?

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
call_api ~87
Call an API from the apifare catalog by slug (find slugs with search_apis). The cost in prepaid credits is deducted automatically and returned with the result.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| params | object | – | Params object per the API's manifest, e.g. {"q": "latest AI news"} |
| slug | string | yes | API slug from search_apis, e.g. "web-search" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_balance ~33
Check the remaining apifare prepaid credit balance (1 credit = $0.01) and get the top-up link.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_vault_link ~125
Get a secure one-time link where the user can save their OWN API key for a provider (BYOK). Use when the user wants to use their existing key (e.g. their fal.ai key) with apifare, or when an API says it is not configured. Never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat — always use this link instead. BYOK calls cost a flat 0.1 credits; the user's own provider account pays the provider.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| provider | string | yes | API slug from search_apis, e.g. "fal" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
proxy_call ~218
Call a provider's NATIVE API through the apifare transparent proxy — write the request exactly as the provider's own docs say; apifare injects the auth, meters the prepaid balance, and returns the provider's response verbatim (including native error codes). Providers: dataforseo, open-meteo, apify (no key from the user), and brave/scrapingbee/openweather/fal (uses the user's vaulted key). Example: provider "dataforseo", method "POST", path "v3/serp/google/organic/live/advanced", body per DataForSEO docs.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | – | – | JSON body per the provider's docs |
| method | string | – | HTTP method (default GET) |
| path | string | yes | Provider-native path, no leading slash, e.g. "v3/serp/google/organic/live/advanced" |
| provider | string | yes | Proxy provider name, e.g. "dataforseo" |
| query | object | – | Query params per the provider's docs |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_apis ~82
Search the apifare catalog of ready-to-call APIs (web search, scraping, weather, and more). Returns each API's slug, params, and per-call price in prepaid credits. Every miss is logged so missing APIs get added.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | What kind of API you need, in plain words, e.g. "search the web" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
secret_generate ~45
Generate a random secret and place it directly at a vendor resource SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bytes | integer | – | – |
| to | object | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
secret_transfer ~61
Move a secret from one vendor to another SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation. Example: fetch a Supabase service_role key and place it as a Vercel env var.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| from | object | yes | – |
| to | object | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
topup ~82
Top up the apifare balance from the owner's standing auto-refill mandate (if the owner enabled one). Charges within the owner's configured limits and returns the new balance. Without a mandate, returns payment instructions to relay to the user.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| amount_usd | integer | – | Optional whole-dollar amount; defaults to the mandate's refill amount and is clamped to it |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
vendor_call ~129
Call a vendor MANAGEMENT API (supabase, vercel, fly, resend, github, npm, cloudflare, lemonsqueezy) with the owner's vaulted root credential injected server-side. Native request/response; destructive, billing, and member/admin routes are blocked. The root token is never visible.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | object | – | JSON body for write methods |
| method | string | – | HTTP method (default GET) |
| path | string | yes | The vendor's own API path, e.g. "v9/projects" |
| vendor | string | yes | Vendor name, e.g. "vercel" |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
